Skip bins as we call it at Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Hunter Valley, Port Stephens and Central Coast or all over Australia or more commonly known as dumpsters in the United States and Canada are a large metallic open container that’s commonly found in construction and renovation sites. They are filled with waste materials and garbage and then collected at a set time and/or date. Once the skip is full, it will be collected and replaced with an empty one when needed. The filled bin is then taken into a disposal point and from there, separation takes place to recycle some of the eligible materials and properly dispose of the others.
